Linda,
that's awful, what happened to you.  haven't you any recourse or insurance? 
Is it really just a total, irrecoverable loss?  Isn't it possible to file 
suit against Norton for negligence and misrepresentation?

Subject: off topic but urgent for online banking


Hi,

I am writing this to avoid this happening to them.  I was using Norton 
antivirus and never had a problem until now.  When I went to the bank today, 
my entire bank account was stolen.  Apparently there is a virus called 
bankfraud and norton did not pick it up and it is not listed on their site 
to my knowledge.  All you have to do is go to an online bank site and the 
same may happen to you if you use norton.  I went online to find a free scan 
and found one called Stopsign.  I'm not trying to promote spam but all the 
money I saved is history in the 28 years I worked and I don't want this 
happening to someone else.  It is an online subscription and it caught this 
virus and some others norton didn't and you get other benefits and storage 
space.  My machine is now "bankfraud" free but too late.  If anyone wants to 
contact me privately about this, my machine is infection free.  So the 
bottom line is if you use norton, don't go to online banking sites.
